I've been told, but not sure, that one of the biggest causes of butt rot, is the sprinkler hitting the tree constantly. I don't have Palms, but it was a discussion that came up while playing golf. Lately I have been seeing some Palms that look like they need something quick, in order to get a jolt of energy or something! Do Palm tree roots spread, or are they in a ball?
